Bart:
My first reaction to that was that it was too flat and 'everyday' for a
letter directed to "the Church" at ......
Then I remembered the point made by Murphy-O'Connor in his:
Paul the Letter-Writer. His world, his options, his skills. (Good News
Studies Vol.41 ). Collegeville; Liturgical Press, 1995.
that " Paul never uses the secular greeting XAIREIN " (p.54).
So, perhaps using " all good wishes " conveys the right implication?
